I remember seeing Minis tootling along the streets of London, and they always cracked me up. No, Minis wouldn't quite catch on in the States, where everyone drives BIG cars -- with vans, "sports utility vehicles", and trucks now having replaced the T-birds of yesteryear.

What is it with all these trucks, anyhow? Two college students (both girls) who work for me have gotten trucks of their own, and the high school kids who work for me are all talking about getting a "stretch truck" instead of a stretch limo for their high school prom.
